I once was waltzing through echoes,
no ear to hear the sound
of blossoms shedding their beauty;
shimmering in silence of scorched earth,
they dropped another petal down
to be frozen between syllables
of a bird’s last song.
It was that moment~
when I was wounded worst
and wilted into deception
of a heart lost in dreams
and withering because Love
was spoken in vain,
in tainted remnants of yesterday
and lost in forbidden bursts of blue
that blinded my eyes to fool’s wishes
stuttering on horizon ~ that moment
in sorrow’s silk, leaning against tomb,
I heard a bud spring in silken wishes
and song that has lasted long
as stars softly fade into a drum dirge
that no stopping of ears can dissuade.
I am dreaming love to life and life to love
following drop-dead down-beat
of every lost bit of humming beauty
giving birth to itself. I dance and throw seeds,
in crystalline sunrise to prove
there is music in slow return to womb work
where Love begins to compose new music.
Author notes
Option 1: PHRASE BANK
wilted into deception
tainted remnants of yesterday
crystalline sunrise
forbidden bursts of blue
waltzing through echoes
dreaming love to life
another petal down
frozen between syllables
in silken wishes
shimmering in silence
lost in dreams
as stars softly fade
spoken in vain
